So, the Globe and Mail has decided to follow in the footsteps of such respected newspapers as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal by implementing a paywall for its online content. Cue the comments about how the Globe isn’t a respected newspaper like the Times or the WSJ. (No really, scroll down for it!) As Editor-in-Chief John Stackhouse so eloquently puts it, “globeandmail.com will remain free for most of our users – those who want to survey our home pages and section fronts for business, life, commentary, arts and sports, sample 10 stories a month, etc.” So, if you want to look at the front page without diving into any of the articles, or you can constrain your news-reading to one article every three days, you’re good. Otherwise, that will be 20 bucks a month please, unless you subscribe to the paper. While I suppose that might cost less than a premium porn-site package, it’s probably more than you pay for TekSavvy:
(For what it’s worth, if WordPress ever implements a paywall in response to the lack of clicks on the ad banners here, I’m switching to Blogspot.
